Class: College Prep Biology Unit: “Genetics” Topic: From Codons to amino acids
Instructional Objectives: Students should be able to…
Students will be able to identify codons.
Students will be able to define what a codon is in their own words.
Students will be able to match codons with anticodons.
Students will deduce from information that is provided, that proteins are composed of amino acids that are built from codons.
Time:
Activity
9:00-9:10 9:11-9:25 9:26-9:50
I will review the previous days lesson and notes I will display notes on tRNA and translation Students will receive handouts with a DNA genetic code. They will work with partners to transcribe and translate the strand. Students will refer to a key to determine what A.A’s the genes code for and they will decode the strand.
Assignment: Students will be evaluated on their accuracy to identify the amino acids that the codons code for
